Incorporating Stakeholder Perspectives in Industrial Ecology: A Justice-Oriented Analysis of the Lithium-ion Battery Value Chain
| 项目名称： | Incorporating Stakeholder Perspectives in Industrial Ecology: A Justice-Oriented Analysis of the Lithium-ion Battery Value Chain |
| 摘要： | Electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) play a central role in global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. The resulting demand for LIBs will require a significant ramp-up in the extraction and refinement of raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are energy-intensive to mine and impact the local environment and population in the producing regions 3–6. To create a sustainable transportation future, it is essential to minimize adverse impacts and reduce reliance on raw materials through reuse and recycling. In this dissertation, the study team leader will analyze the supply chain and recycling of LIBs using a mixed-methods approach that integrates qualitative research and life cycle assessment. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on sustainable production, using Lithium Valley in California as a case study to situate the impacts of lithium extraction in the local context and create an environmental justice-oriented research agenda. Chapter 3 uses semi-structured interviews to better understand the pathways retired batteries may follow a tend-of-life, informing policy recommendations and research that will support a robust reuse and recycling system. This research responds to identified gaps within the field of LCA while contributing a more nuanced, accurate understanding of the LIB value chain. |
